This novel susceptibility gene for LQT is ''SCN4B'' encoding the protein Na<sub>V</sub>β4, an auxiliary [[subunit]] to the pore-forming Na<sub>V</sub>1.5 (gene:  ''SCN5A'') subunit of the [[voltage-gated sodium channel]] of the heart.  The mutation leads to a positive shift in inactivation of the sodium current, thus increasing sodium current.  Only one mutation in one patient has so far been found.
